In my humble understanding, the list has never become
or been
your property. If there is any 'owner' who might rule on his
own ground, so it is the people.
I've been sort of laying low on this, but I think I need to clarify
my *own* perspective.
I have definite opinions on all of this, and I'm not often shy about
sharing them.[1] But in my never-humble opinion, the cat who pays the
freight gets to choose the destination.
So, Hans, do I understand that your essay is a roundabout way of
offering to host and maintain this mailing list?
Or are you just carping cause the free beer isn't chilled to your taste?

[1] For what it's worth, this list has grown and diversified a LOT even
since I subscribed. The management policies of 6-8 years ago are no
longer sufficient. This increased need for "direction" is a normal
function of any growing group.
